European Solidarity Corps is an international voluntary program, which was created to bring together young people to build a more inclusive society, supporting vulnerable people and responding to societal challenges [1]. Thousands of young people from different countries have already taken part in this program and got to know each other during their volunteering services. Ukrainians, whose country has been drawn into a terrible and bloody war since February 24, 2022, are also among them. How do contacts received during volunteering resonate with them now? We have a few eloquent stories.

This is a story on a personal note, of how people could be affected by the war in Ukraine.

Last year when I was doing my volunteering year (ESC) I listened and learned  about Europeanvalues in the scope of  various youth exchange trainings and seminars that we had constantly.And during these seminars more than ever I was convinced that the EU is a huge institution for theeducation of humanitarian values like solidarity, anti-descrimination and human rights as basic needs of human beings, all over the world. Right now I have an opportunity not to listen but also to see all of these values in an action. And I am going to disappoint you, because there is nothing impressional to share with you.

1918 ended the „Urkatastrophe“ of the 20th century in Europe, the First World War, with a rebellion of the German navy. A hundred years have passed by, but instead of big celebrations the date passes quiet silent in Germany. A report about collective memory, war in times of peace and competing narratives.

About a week ago, a young Syrian man came to the Rotaract meeting in Passau to talk about the last one and a half years of his life. While he was talking, the room was absolutely silent. When he asked about the time, nobody bothered that he was talking already for more than an hour. After he finished, I asked him if I could write down his story and he agreed. In fact, he was happy. It is a chance to show the story that is hiding behind all those numbers of refugees, we are confronted with in the media everyday. We met again, when I was finished with the text to complete it together. The story of this young man is not only his story. It represents the lives of thousands of refugees who have to face those same obstacles.
